Stocker Pistons....Pontiac

Brent,
Great question. I have been wondering some of the same stuff, as I continue to scratch parts together for my 67 Firebird.

For the knowledgeable ones, another question please:

Would the heavier - less trick piston in a lower RPM Pontiac have less, equal or more impact to the overall motor efficiency, vs a generally higher RPM stocker motor, like a small block chevy?

Brent is talking about spending his money on a really good short block to start with. On a Pontiac 400 specifically, what is the best bang for the buck? Short block, heads, exhaust/headers ???

thanks, and good luck Brent

Ken
